Visit Beautiful Gig Harbor

Planners for executive conferences, small and mid-size meetings, and special occasions are discovering more reasons than ever to gather in Gig Harbor, the Pacific Northwest’s premier maritime city.

“Gig Harbor is in a unique position, situated on a quiet, beautiful peninsula yet very close to metropolitan centers,” said Karen Scott, Tourism and Communications Director, City of Gig Harbor. “This picture perfect community offers all the components for successful small to mid-size meetings or executive retreats – ease of access, dedicated meeting space, fine accommodations, world-class golf and recreational options, top-notch caterers, welcoming restaurants, lively pubs, and more.”

New and noteworthy for groups are the following:

Proximity to Chambers Bay – Gig Harbor is the closest leisure and meeting destination to Chambers Bay Golf Club, which is located across the landmark Tacoma Narrows Bridge and 8.5 miles from Gig Harbor.

Nearness to Eight Additional Golf Courses – As if Chambers Bay isn’t enough of an attraction, Gig Harbor is within a 30-minute drive or less to Gold Mountain, Canterwood, McCormick Woods, Trophy Lake, The Home Course, and Madrona Links. Canterwood and Madrona Links are located in Gig Harbor;

Unique Venues ¬– In addition to dedicated meeting space at the INN at Gig Harbor and the Wesley Inn, small to mid-size groups of many kinds might gather at unique venues such as a waterfront museum, a distillery or a park pavilion;
